It’s another crossover special on The Arsenal Opinion Podcast, and this time we’ve dragged the brilliant Suburban Gooner Chris away from the Same Old Arsenal pod and dropped him right into the heat of the AOP mixer. And what a session it was. 🔥 We kick off with some seriously spicy hot takes: Chris believes Eze is Arteta’s 2.0 tactical unlock. Pete lays down the law: Martinelli must go. Johnny backs the Eze for Ødegaard revolution. 🧤 We dive deep on Kepa’s signing – is it a smart piece of undervalued business or a risky bet on redemption? The lads talk brand value, tactical fit, and who really owns the #13 shirt legacy at Arsenal. 🎯 Then it’s a proper Eze appreciation session. The crew debates his position, his flexibility, and whether he’s the player to give Arsenal an edge when Ødegaard isn’t firing. ⚽️ To close, it’s the striker merry-go-round. Sesko or Gyökeres? We unpack the rumors, the agent drama, and the profiles that could define Arsenal’s summer window. 💔 A heartfelt moment is taken to reflect on the tragic news of Diogo Jota and his brother’s passing. Football feels secondary sometimes, and we pay our respects. 🎧 Listen now for smart analysis, hot takes, and the sort of crossover energy that makes the transfer window so much fun.

Myles Lewis-Skelly takes over Europe, Saka sets sights on Madrid, and Arsenal hit 143k subs! 🎙️ Featuring: @iJohnnyCochrane & @LeGrove The international break is usually the graveyard shift for football chat… but not this week. We’ve got unexpected debuts, tactical fireworks, and a new England darling to fawn over. Pete and Johnny crack into a surprisingly juicy pod with a mix of hot takes, serious chat, and a massive shout to the AOP community. 🎖️ We kick things off celebrating a massive milestone — our silver YouTube trophy finally arrived (after three weeks marinating in the back of Pete’s car). We’ve officially passed 100k subscribers — actually 143k, if we’re bragging — and Johnny demands we make a big fuss. So we did. 🔥 Then it’s onto the Hottest of Takes: Johnny puts all his faith in one man to take us to glory against Real Madrid: Bukayo Saka. Pete counters with some emotional vindication after Myles Lewis-Skelly makes his England debut, bags a goal, and leaves rival fanbases in a puddle of tears. He’s not just good. He’s the guy. 🧠 We go deep on the tactical side too. Tuchel vs. Southgate. MLS as an inverted left-back / double six hybrid. Is Arteta cooking something special or getting a little too cautious? Are we really practicing transition football mid-season for a Madrid showdown? 👀 Then we dive into the cultural conversation. Johnny lays out why MLS's rise matters beyond football. Confidence. Swagger. Representation. The tired old tropes from media dinosaurs need to be put in the bin. We're not letting our next superstar be defined by clickbait narratives. 👶 We touch on Ethan Nwaneri’s usage — or lack thereof — and whether Arteta should lean into the youth revolution more. Plus a warning: let’s not Wilshere these kids. Manage the minutes. Build them slowly. 😩 There’s also some bad news: Calafiori picks up another knock with Italy. Pete rants about the signing, the injuries, and whether £40m on another centre-back was ever a good idea when he’s not even playing in his best position. ⚖️ And finally, we tie it all together with a few spicy debates: Can defence really win you titles in 2025? Have we learned how to manage egos and character in the modern game? And why is it that Arsenal fans always seem to be the first to get lectured when our boys show a little sauce? 📍All this and loads more in a surprisingly banging international break edition.

This one is spicy. Arsenal’s season took a gut punch with the news that Kai Havertz is out—INJURED IN A HIGH-PRESSING DRILL while the lads were supposed to be resting in Dubai.

Liverpool dropped points in brutal fashion against Everton, and suddenly the title race is back on. We talk: 🔥 The slot rot—is Liverpool about to unravel? 🔥 Man City lurking—can Pep’s side deliver a knockout blow? 🔥 Arsenal’s path—can we survive without a forward line? 🔥 The Pogmol conspiracy—was Michael Oliver on a mission?
